Andrew was our server. He was very attentive and engaged with us during our dining experience. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and helpful for decision making on meal options. Our visit was delightful and engaging thanks to Andrew.

If you decide to eat here avoid "the beard" at all costs! We had dinner last night to celebrate my husband's birthday. The host was very friendly and sat us right away. Our waiter however, was miserable and ruined the entire experience. He was rude, dismissive, and treated us as if we were a huge annoyance to him. I asked him for a recommendation between two dishes and his response was "well, I'm not eating it, you are". It was downhill from there. I never felt as unwelcome in a restaurant in my life! His attitude continued until the end of service when he abruptly put our creme brulee on the table with a candle in it and walked away with not even a "happy birthday" from him. I spoke to the manager/host who was very apologetic but apparently not too concerned since there is a similar review about this waiter only two months ago. The food was good but it's the service that often makes or breaks a meal. So dissapointed as there are so many other options in town.

We went to dine here for dinner with a reservation. It was a nice quiet evening, not packed but still busy. We were welcomed as soon as we walked in, and taken to our table.

The menu for the food is small, but the wine menu is much bigger. We ordered some cocktails, and 2 appetizers to share. The cocktails all had strong colors, especially the Rub-a-dub-dub, almost unhealthy color (LOL) but with an adorable little ducky on it! The server told us that we are welcome to take the ducky with us if we wanted to keep it. The flavors of the cocktails are a-ok, not the best I've had.

The server told us all the specials of the night, and we ordered one of the appetizer special, which was a duck leg with noodles. It was so delicious! The meat was tender and packed with flavor, and the noodles had Asian noodle flavor which we all loved. The second appetizer was a lobster strudel, which sounded interesting. It had super crunchy phyllo exterior and moist lobster meat in the inside. Slightly heavy on the salt but otherwise, tasted really nice.

For the main, we ordered Seafood Risotto, Seared Scallops, and Wester Ross Salmon. They were presented elegantly on the plate, good quality and nice flavors.

Then we decided to get a couple of desserts to share. We ordered one of the special of the night, whiskey chocolate cake with whipped cream and chocolate mousse. It was rich and chocolate-y, delicious! The other dessert was Creme Brulee, a classic. It was a nice size for us to share, creamy and very tasty!

The server was really nice, polite, friendly, and we were taken care of throughout the evening. A nice little restaurant with upscale atmosphere and dishes.

Great ambiance, but the food was not flavorful whatsoever. Seafood risotto specifically.

Went to celebrate our wedding anniversary and everything was great! The service was great and the food was excellent. The duck was melt in your mouth delicious and the bread they bring to the table accompanied it well. My husband got the seafood risotto. Both the seafood and the risotto were perfectly cooked. We will be back again.

An absolutely wonderful experience. A vibe true to definition.

They open at 5p sharp. We were welcomed and seated promptly. Our waiter was at our table in the perfect amount of time to bring water and take our drink order. The drinks fun and bright kicked off our dining experience with excitement.

Moments later, some beautiful, warm bread with spreadable and well presented butter adorned our table.

We ordered the Lobster Pastry appetizer. It was decadent and delicious, not to mention incredibly beautiful. We would have licked the plate if nobody was looking… ;-)

Between servings, bus staff quickly and discretely cleared and replaced dirty plates and silver. We felt pampered, as if we were the most important customers in the world.

Dinner came and it was everything we had hoped for. The duck, cooked medium rare, with skin, and a cherry sauce, was delicious. The fresh green beans and Yukon gold potatoes, the perfect complements. The striped bass, also, flaky, tender, and wonderful. Perched on top of arugula and a light lemony tomato dressing made the dish really pop. The recommended red and white wines paired perfectly.

Then came dessert. This brownie thing from another universe. Leaning into a pool of melted chocolate, topped with whipped cream and mint, a luxurious confection that left quite the impression and is in a sugar coma.

We left, mesmerized by our experience and wanting to go back. Hands down one of the best most delicious, elegant, and white glove dining experiences we have had out (and there are a lot). Highly recommended. Don’t hesitate.

Parking: Parking wasn’t bad for us at 5pm but during the height of dinner it might be tricky.

DO NOT! Wind up with the waiter with beard. Suck? RUN!!!

My wife had a delicous filet! My stripped bass? Over cooked. I tried to slice it rapidly to slow down continued cooking. One descent bite out of 8. We have been here before and will continue to eat here. I think “the beard” is enough to ruin your meal and experience. Good Luck Glass onion
